Miss Delia Andersan Says She Was
Attacked While on Way Home
After Making a Call.
Miss Delia Anderson, a maid em
ployed by Mr. and Mrs. S. L. North at
their home In the Sala flts, was as
saulted by an unknown man in a va
cant lot on Fifth avenue, between
Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth
streets, about 10 o'clock last night
Shortly afterward Mrs. Mary Lee. a
telephone operator, residing at 615
Twenty-fourth street, frightened by a
man who had entered her home, fled
to the veranda roof, leaping from that
into the arms of a Rock Island doctor
who chanced to be passing. The same
man who attacked Miss Anderson is
thought to have entered the Lee home.
The police were called, but no clew
has been found.
After spending . the evening with
Mrs. Ijee. Miss Anderson had started
for her home at 10 o'clock.. As she
passed through the vacant lot a strang
er addressed her. When she gave no
answer he grabbed her arm with one
hand and struck her in the jaw with
the other. She fell dazed to the ground
and today she has no recollection of I
following experiences until she found
herself on the Twenty-fourth street
bridge. She eays she gained con
sciousness then and saw a Bridge line
car pass. An hour after the attack
Miss Anderson was able to reach her
home. Her clothes were torn and her
face bruised and discolored. She could
not give a description of her assailant
and only remembered that he had ac
costed her and had struck her when
she refused to answer his salutation.
Home Entered.
Soon after the hour Miss Anderson
claims she was assaulted Mrs. Lee,
whom Miss Anderson had been visit
ing, heard a man making his way about
downstairs in her home. At the. time
she was locked in her room prepara
tory to retiring. The man ascended
the stairs and rattled the door to her
room. Frightened, she fled through a
window, screaming, and reached the
edge of the veranda roof just as Dr.
C. T. Foster, enroute to a home nearby
on a professional call, passed. The
-doctor, attracted by the woman's
screams, ran into the lawn of the I,ee
home and caught her in his arms as
she jumped from the veranda.
Airs. Lee saya there were two men
at her home. One stood in the yard
i while his confederate entered the
house. When Dr. Foster responded to
the screams of the woman the one
keeping watch in the yard ran. The
Intruder, who had gained the upstairs
of th'e home, escaped unobserved.
Nothing is Missed.
Nothing was missing from the Lee
home after the burglar scare had sub
sided. Early this morning Airs. Leo
says three shots were fired in front of
her home, but no further effort was
made to enter the house. . Mrs. Jjpe
was, alone in the house at the time the
unknown man entered. Other occu
pants of the house returned later in
the evening.

TRUSTEE NAMED
FOR HOTEL MAN
Creditors of G. H. Reece Hold
Session in County Court
Labor Claims Are Many.
A meeting of the creditors of G. H.
Reece, former lessee of the Colonial
hotel, was held this morning before the
referee in-bankruptcy, E. U. Henry
of Peoria, in the county court. Fred
Woltman was named trustee undei
$:500 bonds. A large number of labor
claims have been filed, as none of the
employes of the hostelry received
waees the last two weeks that Reece
operated the house. The assets are J
not over $700, and $400 of this is ex
empt under the law. It is not prob
able that general creditors will re-
i ceive anything on their claims, as labor
claims are preferred claims under the
law. .
The Black Hawk Clay company's
bankrupt matter was also up before
the referee this morning. Many proofs
of claims were made by the creditors.
